Predestination: Is it the Choice You Never Made? – Part 2

Discussion Questions:

  1. How is God’s foreknowledge different from controlling everyone’s moves?
  2. React to this statement: God predestined every child of God to grow, being conformed to Christ’s image.
  3. How is Romans 9:30-31 the summary of everything Paul wants to communicate?
  4. In what way does this Romans passage mirror what we saw in Ephesians last week?
  5. React to this statement: Paul uses Jacob, Esau, and Pharaoh to defend God’s right to do whatever He wants. And now God wants to bring salvation to the Gentiles.
  6. How does the Hosea quote in Romans 9:25-26 further expose the true meaning of predestination?
  7. Why can the genuine message concerning predestination unite us (rather than divide us) and even offer a cure for racism?
